The Raptors lead the Kings 63-45 at the half. Toronto is shooting 51.2%. The Kings are shooting 36.6%. The Raptors have a 30-16 rebounding advantage and an 18-5 advantage in points off turnovers. – 11:14 PM

Raptors get a prayer to end the half to take a 63-45 lead into the break. Former Kings second round pick Gary Trent with 18 to lead all scorers. – 11:13 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
Off Night just totally locked down VanVleet at the end of the buzzer, and he banked one home from 21 feet anyway. Raps lead 63-45 at the half, and the Kings may or may not be playing for their coach’s job here. – 11:13 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
Kings down 63-45 at half. 🤷‍♂️ – 11:12 PM
Vivek Jacob @vivekmjacob
NBA stats site says the Raptors already have a charge drawn this season? Doesn’t seem right, that Birch one had to be the first – 11:12 PM

Raptors outscored Sacramento 42-18 the rest of the half. – 11:12 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Second-quarter Gary is becoming a thing. Trent scored 8 straight points for the Raptors in the 2nd Q last night. Tonight, he’s got 13 of 18 points in Q2, including 8 straight… again. – 11:10 PM
Michael Grange @michaelgrange
I believe Khem Birch has drawn the Raptors first charge of the season. – 11:09 PM

One-handed, cross-body, no-look pass on the run? Yes Scottie Barnes. – 11:08 PM

Khem Birch draws the first offensive foul by a Raptor THIS SEASON! – 11:08 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
Khem Birch just drew the Raptors’ first charge of the year after we were debating who might do it here on press row. – 11:08 PM
Bill Herenda @billherenda
Cannot help off of Gary Trent Jr who now has 18 points #WeTheNorth #SacramentoProud11:07 PM

Boo-birds are coming out early. Kings down 61-43. – 11:07 PM
Matt George @MattGeorgeSAC
Is De’Aaron Fox a part of the half court offense? Unless it’s a broken play like what he just scored on, Fox is just floating and standing around the perimeter. – 11:01 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
Really nice adjustment by the Raptors to face a team that is shooting poorly. – 11:00 PM
James Ham @James_HamNBA
Metu with a monster putback. Kings within 5 at 41-36. – 10:58 PM

The plan to get the Raptors in free throw trouble only works if you hit your free throws. 11-of-17 so far. That’s not going to cut it. – 10:57 PM

Like this adjustment from Nurse, using Trent with the 2nd unit to give them more of a scoring punch. Boucher and Banton have given them a lift defensively and some good minutes from Achiuwa. 15-2 Raptors run. – 10:46 PM

Kyle Lowry is surely seething somewhere after seeing how quickly the refs just allowed the Kings to inbound the ball. – 10:44 PM
Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
Before the game, Luke Walton pointed out the Raptors are extremely aggressive and “they foul a lot,” saying the Kings could use that to their advantage to get to the free-throw line. They got to the line 11 times in the first quarter. – 10:44 PM

Banton, Boucher provide some energy and, well, chaos – 10:41 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Nurse pre-game, re: Pascal Siakam: “Sometimes you have a stinker, man. It’s why they made back-to-backs. Flush that one down.”
Siakam’s 1st quarter: 13 points, 4-4 FG, 4-4 FT, 2 rebounds in 10 minutes.
So far so good. Nice response. – 10:41 PM

The Kings might wear the free throw line off the court before this quarter is over. Walton said that the Raptors love to overplay and foul a ton. His team listened to the scouting report. – 10:31 PM
Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
Harrison Barnes is 8-8 at the free-throw line in the first nine minutes of the game. – 10:30 PM

Harrison Barnes is 6-for-6 from the line with nearly 4 minutes remaining in 1Q. – 10:27 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
A couple early turnovers, and still a bit of ball watching defensively, but a far more assertive start for Pascal Siakam, which is good to see. – 10:25 PM

Live ball turnovers helping the Kings early. – 10:19 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Birch has passed up a couple of open looks from the corner – the first leading to a turnover, the second to a tougher shot for VanVleet. If he and Barnes are gonna start/play together, those are the shots they need to take, as Nurse touched on yesterday. – 10:18 PM
James Ham @James_HamNBA
Kings once again need to clean up the turnovers, but the defense has been solid. – 10:17 PM

Kings open with a steal leading to a breakaway dunk and then a shot-clock violation and then another defensive stop. – 10:12 PM

Warriors finish off another impressive early season win. Beat the Pistons in Detroit without Steph Curry and Draymond Green. Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins combine for 59 points. That’s a 3-1 road trip. The Warriors are 14-2, heading back home for Raptors, Sixers, Blazers. – 9:28 PM
Aaron Rose @AaronBenRose
It’s interesting listening to Nick Nurse talk about how he wants Scottie to take more three-point shots and step outside his comfort zone and he wants Precious Achiuwa to settle in to his comfort zone and find the things he does best – 9:24 PM

For the second season in a row, Fred VanVleet leads the NBA in average distance traveled.
This year, he’s running 2.90 miles per game. Last year, his 2.76 miles per game led all players.
Scottie Barnes (2.78) and OG Anunoby (2.69) are also in the top-10: basketballnews.com/stories/20-nba…8:15 PM
